I am using MFMailComposeViewController to send an email with an attachment. In all the guides it chooses to present the view controller as a modal view so that the user can change the fields and choose to send or cancel.
I don’t want people to be able to change the information that I have put in, so I was wondering if I could force it to send the email without going to the modal view?
I am aware of using a url with mailto but believe you can’t add an attachment.
If anyone knows if this is possible or even better if they know how to do it I would really appreciate the assistance.
Many thanks.
No, you can’t do this with MFMailComposeViewController. Apple is very specific in the docs that sending email is under the users control, not your apps. You are sending email from the users account, you can understand why access to the email is restricted I this way – a spambot would be trivial to make if this were not the case.
For the above reason I don’t think you’d get an app which sends its own emails from the users account approved for the app store.
